Someone was selling my artwork on Etsy. I sent them my CertNode proof showing I created it 6 months before they started selling. They took it down within 24 hours.

Common Questions

How is this different from posting on social media?

Social media timestamps can be manipulated and lack independent verification. CertNode uses RFC 3161 (the same standard used by banks and governments) and Bitcoin blockchain anchoring to create tamper-proof, independently verifiable proof.

Do you store my content?

No. We only store a cryptographic hash (fingerprint) of your content. Your actual files remain on your device. The hash proves the content existed without revealing what it is.

Will this hold up in court?

Yes. RFC 3161 timestamps are recognized as legal evidence in courts worldwide. Our proofs have been used successfully in copyright disputes, intellectual property cases, and contract disputes.

What if CertNode shuts down?

Your proofs are anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain, which is decentralized and permanent. Even if CertNode disappears, your timestamps remain independently verifiable on the public blockchain.
